I do a lot of pre-dusk driving on two-lane country roads. Invariably some ass-hole will tailgate me for 20 minutes with his bright head-lights on.
Instead of waiting for someone coming in the on-coming lane to flash their brights at the guy behind me, I want to do something a little more pro-active.
I
want an Anti-Ass-Hole Spoiler.
With the push of a button, two electric actuators rotate the spoiler 90 degrees, presenting a slightly curved, reflective underside towards the rear of the vehicle, reflecting the offending tailgater's headlights back at the offending tailgater.

Easier solution - get a 2 million candle power hand-held spotlight, keep it on the passenger seat. Point-n-shoot. (A friend of mine actually does this - finds it to be quite effective.) |

[ns] why waste your energy on somebody else being an asshole? [+] |

[neutrino] That method is WAY too dangerous ... My three year old son has to unbuckle from the car seat to properly employ it. |
|

That and I don't have a funtioning cigarette lighter. |

[21Quest] Your neutrality is as much a bun as one could hope for. I'll take it. |

or the subtle method: tie a piece of ironmongery under the car to a string terminating in the passenger compartment: when somebody tailgates just loosen the string causing sparks to fly out. The gentler approach to the caltrop method. |
|
| |
Why not just use the caltrop method? |
|
| |
well for one thing you have to replace the caltrops. |

While I like a good offensive-driving tool as well as the next commuter, a recently blinded driver behind you is not necessarily a good thing. |

But you've given me an idea, so I'll go post it, and cross reference here and there. |
